pretty painted containers::wwyd?

I thrifted this vintage set a little while ago and just loved the painted flowers on them. They are not in the best condition but I could not pass up their 70's prettiness and I am now conflicted on what to do with them...refinish, complete restyle or leave as is?

They don't really fit very well anywhere in my kitchen and Jason did not seem so keen on the design so they are now in the sewing room...maybe they should be storage for crafty supplies? Or find a unique use in one of the boys rooms? Maybe vintage fruit and veggie planters this spring?

I agree, don't change them! They look so good the way they are! I can imagine them full of buttons and ribbons and spools of thread..I'd say use them in the craft room or for planters. that's a neat idea too :)
